I'm a huge fan of the early supply depot though, you can go 1 base or 3CC behind it and Protoss has no way to scout it. | ||

That said, I feel like the korean zergs have fallen off quite badly and it seems pretty to me that Reynor and Serral are the best zergs and probably the best players atm if I'm being honest. | ||

I mean EU doesn't have terrans or protosses on the same level as their zergs, so neither of them are going to fall off any time soon until the other two races over there figure out how to close the gap. | ||

But i guess Tasteless doesn't watch SC2 anymore outside the matches he get paid to cast Rogue has individual tournament runs that are amazing, but in between he does terribly. Like this year winning Katowice and getting eliminated in the first round of Code S and not getting into the Super Tournament at all. Don't think it's that much of a stretch when Tasteless calls the more consistent player who also has tournament wins in the same time span (including Blizzcon) better. | ||

Like this year winning Katowice and getting eliminated in the first round of Code S and not getting into the Super Tournament at all. Don't think it's that much of a stretch when Tasteless calls the more consistent player who also has tournament wins in the same time span (including Blizzcon) better. for Rogue it's usually ro32, ro8 or win lol | ||

It's a bit unfortunate that Dark had to meet Inno twice. Kudos to Parting defeating Inno, but PvT overall right now just looks... wonky and coin-flippy ala high-stakes poker due to Toss' AoE damage (nothing about balance, just saying that the games tend to hinge on 1-2 major engagements... then again, that's arguably the whole life story of SC2 PvT). Hard to tell who would've won between Dark and Parting. Probably somewhat even. So I don't think the results are too unexpected, the way they turned out. If Parting had lost to Inno and won Dark to clinch the spot, I would have been more surprised and convinced that Dark is 'slumping'.... | ||

But i guess Tasteless doesn't watch SC2 anymore outside the matches he get paid to cast Perhaps Rogue had some kind of bad "aura" ie his play styles that made spectators hated him so much that they never wished to put him as the top 3 best Zerg players either in 2019 or 2020 even though he kept winning the big tourneys. | ||

It's more about the perception that he is a patchzerg whereas Dark has been consistently one of the best Zergs since 2016. Also he is often a very inconsistent player as people have said. Take early 2020 for example, he went and won Katowice only to lose in the first round of the gsl. When he won GSL season 3 last year he then got knocked out in the first round of the Super Tournament and then was knocked out in the quarterfinals of Blizzcon. | ||

Also, I kinda suspect that Inno is very happy to be facing DRG instead of TY in the Ro8. Yeah I'm expecting a clean 3-0 in that game... | ||

Dark is one of Inno's biggest nemeses, just check Aligulac. Dark won almost every series between them in LotV, this year is the first where he's mostly losing. | ||
